Mata mata?OK.....here's one......guess this guy.
Totally! Chuh!!! Yu too good man!!!Mata mata?
I was going to say a Russian tort.Ginger takes the cake!!! He is a gopher! (Gopherus polyphemus)Impressive guess!
Age 10 is not correct though
As far as I know, one cannot tell the age of a tort unless on knows his/her "date of birth."How do they know his age? Tell us more!
No idea whatsoever.
Don't know, but he's gorgeous.View attachment 199337
It's obvious this is a pancake tort, but what kind?
He lives in a museum. He has lived there for 75 years. He was brought there from the Ross Allen reptile Institute in Florida where he was hatched in 1922. The aforementioned tortoise is a minor celebrity. So he's super well documented. Unlike most torts who it's a guessing game their origins.As far as I know, one cannot tell the age of a tort unless on knows his/her "date of birth."
You are not alone here my friend. I have eastern box turtles. I think of them as honorary tortoises as their care is somewhat similar to tortoises when compared to their aquatic cousins.Ps. I hope nobody minds me hanging around here evendors though I'm not a tort owner yet!
Yeah!Malacochersus tornieri ???
Good, I'm an aspiring tort ownerNo one cares. As long as you have a love for tortoises!
